Library & Learning Resources at University College of Borås has just started a pilot study funded by the National Library of Sweden. The background is the requirements of methods for publishing and accessibility of artistic research and research results, which often wholly or partially, are visually expressed.
Part of the study will consist of a survey of existing initiatives in developing metadata for visual artistic objects in open archives. Focus will be on the often complex contents of these objects - artistic expression, form and colour, manufacturing process, use of different material etc. If members of this list knows about initiatives of this kind we would be grateful to take part of that information. We are primarily focusing on research and research results but are also interested in other kind of publications like project work and student work within the academic field of art and design. regards, Sofia Arvidsson :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Sofia Arvidsson Bibliotekarie/Librarian Högskolan i Borås/University College of Borås Bibliotek och läranderesurser/Library and Learning Resources 501 90 Borås Sweden Tel. +46(0)33 435 4294 Fax. +46(0)33 435 4004 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
